What owners wrote
AC is not working at second after I pick up the car. It only 50 miles. Turn the temperature to 'lo', the fan blows warm air.
Was driving on the freeway approximately 70 mph on saturday October 4th, When car goes into limp mode and throws a engine light on, leaving me stranded on the freeway. Another occurrence one week later on Saturday October 11th when car went into limp mode again driving around 35 mph in the city. Both cases I turned the car off and on and returned back to normal, come to find out with the dealer it is a blown head gasket and their is coolant leaking into cylinder 3. A BLOWN HEADGASKET!!!!!
